Morning all. Had a good start to the morning. OH was offered £300 for his DJ decks (which he hasn't used for 2 years) so he is going to sell them. We have now sold the bed and lockers, the treadmill and the DJ decks. We just need to sell the futon now, and I think our tenants are interested in that so happy days. If we sell the futon at the price we want we should make a grand total of £780 to pay off the credit cards!
How is everyone today?Total (Aug 19):€58,567 Now:€26,947

Hi CMD.
Fab news on the sales.
It's all going fine here. Money was in my Finnish account yesterday so paid 3600€ off student loan. Obviously it's now on my credit card, but at a lower interest.DEBT FREE OCTOBER 2012!Proud to have dealt with my debts!0 -

Good news on paying off some of the loan! I am half tempted to do that with some of my loan when I clear my credit card. However, instead of lowering the term I might lower the repayments to give us a bit of leeway when the baby is born.
When will you know what a difference it makes to your balance?Total (Aug 19):€58,567 Now:€26,947

Yeah, I think it is a great idea to be honest. Gives you a bit of breathing space to live your life. When is the 0% up on your credit card?
I have a potential deal at the moment until June 2010 but want to wait until my card is cleared and then hopefully I will get a longer deal and put some of my loan off itTotal (Aug 19):€58,567 Now:€26,947
